MikroTik RouterBOARD RB44Ge — Professional Router for SMB & Industrial Networks

The MikroTik RB44Ge is a PCI Express card with four 10/100/1000T Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single board, designed for expanding port density in routers and servers with available PCIe slots. It is used in infrastructures where the number of Ethernet interfaces needs to be increased without occupying multiple expansion slots, with native support for RouterOS, Windows, and Linux.

Four Gigabit Ethernet ports on a single PCIe card deliver maximum per-port throughput without the bus bandwidth limitations of classic PCI architectures — PCIe eliminates the bottlenecks typical of multi-port cards on older platforms. The included long 4U bracket covers installation in standard rack server enclosures without additional accessories. An MTBF of approximately 100,000 hours at 25°C indicates reliability suited for continuous operation in production environments.

Compatibility with RouterOS, Windows, and Linux makes RB44Ge suitable for both dedicated MikroTik platforms and general-purpose servers used as software routers or firewalls. IEEE 802.3x flow control support ensures correct traffic management in networks with managed switches.

Recommended for integrators and operators expanding the number of Ethernet interfaces on existing PCIe platforms, for software routers and PC-based firewalls requiring additional Gigabit ports, and for infrastructures where port density per PCIe slot is a critical project parameter.
